"There was tremendous support and everyone said this is a convenient drop off site so based on the need in our community, we will continue to be a designated drop-off site indefinitely. Everybody can play a role to eliminate hunger in our town. If you are in the area, please consider dropping off a few items. Any donation will be greatly appreciated."

Food products most needed are: canned fruit; canned meats; pasta & sauce; macaroni and cheese; rice; peanut butter; cold cereal; soups; and personal care products. Please be sure the items are not expired. If you have any questions or want to schedule a donation drop off, please call Pamela at 860-561-3800."
